Remember Billy Jack?

[Maury Beniowski]

I watched an old Billy Jack movie today, and quickly did a search on this early seventies good guy, who wore his late sixties ideals on his sleeve. Now seventy-five, Tom Laughlin, who's still happily married to Delores Taylor who co-starred in that flick, is still stirring up shit defending the disadvantaged and the abused. Guess he wasn't spoiled by all that dough he made on his first movie. Tom's movie Billy Jack cost $800,000 to make and grossed over $65 million...

Click here, and check out his lengthy, but interesting tirade on GWB and the oil barons.

Sooo Avery add to this:

"Listen children to a story, that was written long ago about a kingdom on a mountain and the valley far below...

Billy Jack Hat

My Billy Jack hat was a hit in the early 70's. Chicks loved it and I must say it was a better way to meet them then most of my one liners.

Sooo Avery add to this:

"Listen children to a story, that was written long ago about a kingdom on a mountain and the valley far below...

"On the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone, and the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own."

"One Tin Soldier" was sung by the Original Caste.

Of course you're right.
I was confusing it with 'Which Way You Goin' Billy Jack"

Saw this movie again recently, forgot how fast that guy was with his feet. Still impressive after all these years.

Holy thread dredge!

He had a stunt double, Bong Soo Han, one of the original Korean masters. Laughlin's abilities are a bit of Hollywood myth.

 

[Robert Upndown]

Yes I remember he died in December 2013. Watched all 3 movies at the theatre when they first came out. God I'm old....

Nice clip of BSH.
I broke my knee doing one of those scissor kicks. Anyone remember the big dojang above the pool hall on Main between Kingsway and Broadway?

That clip showed that "One Tin Soldier" was performed by the band Coven. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coven_(band)
